Oh yes. Tomorrow is Ani. Seeing as no one else here has a flexible schedule I am the designated person to line up seven hours before the show starts. Should you care to take my place I'll compensate you at the rate of $10/hour. Give me a call if you're interested in 7 hours of 'work' tomorrow.

Following up on yesterday's posting,... Free Jenna! from the Economist (courtesy of Wesley).

Of course, defenders of the current drinking laws argue that they have saved thousands of lives. But if raising the drinking age to 21 makes the roads so much safer, why not raise the age to 31? Or 51? Or ban alcohol altogether? After all, it worked so well in the 1920s.

Congratulations! You have been admitted to Honours Computer Science.

That's what I got in my mail box today. It should in fact read:

Congratulations! We've caught on to the fact that you've been taking Computer Science courses when in fact you're not in the Computer Science program. By now being admitted to Honours Computer Science (without asking to be admitted!) you have the honour of paying $1000 more a year!

Damn those sneaky CS Advisors! It was my plan to take all the same courses as CS majors (which is allowed if you meet certain pre-req's, which I do) and then switch to CS in my last term. Unfortunately they've restructured things which has foiled my plans. Why have they restructured? Primarily because too many people were dropping out of CS and not enough were applying because the bar was too high. But really what good is lowering the bar when the fundamental problem is a program which is too challenging (disclaimer: I don't find it too challenging but see how many would). Ah UWaterloo how I love thee.
